Data Privacy Matters

Your Data Privacy Matters

At PsyMed, we would rather tell you exactly what happens to your information than reassure you in general terms. This page describes what is and is not recorded when you take one of our tests. Our privacy policy is the formal statement, and how we build our tests explains the editorial side.

What we do and do not ask for

• No sign-up, no identity: Every test can be taken without an account. We never require your name, email address or phone number to take one, and the great majority of completions carry none of those.
• What is recorded: When you finish a test, the completion is logged: which test, your score, how long it took, and the IP address the request came from. That log is how we count completions, which is what produces the “most taken” ordering on our test index.
• When more is stored: If you are signed in to an account, or you choose to enter your details to have a result sent to you, that information is stored alongside the completion, because the feature cannot work otherwise.
• Browser-scored tools: A few of our tools, including the Big Five personality test, are scored entirely in your own browser and send nothing to our server at all.
• What we never do: We do not sell this data, and we do not use it to build profiles of individual people. Your individual item-by-item answers are not what we analyse; the score and the completion are.

Deletion requests

An IP address counts as personal data under the GDPR, so if you would like the completion records associated with yours removed, email info@psymed.info and say roughly when you took the test and which one. We will locate the records and delete them. If you have an account, deleting the account removes the completions tied to it.

There is one honest limitation worth stating: taking a test always creates a record, so we cannot currently offer a way to take one and leave nothing behind.
